    Generalidades de los cítricos y recomendaciones agronómicas para su cultivo en Colombia
    (Corporación Universitaria Lasallista, 2012-08-02) Ordúz Rodríguez, Javier Orlando; Mateus Cagua, Diana M.
    Citrus were brought to Colombia since the conquest’s times and since then they have been a part of the people’s diet. In current times citrus (orange, tangerine, tangelo orange and acid limes) are the second most cultivated fruit species in Colombia after bananas, and a big part of the production is intended for foreign markets. In Colombian tropical con -ditions, citrus are cultivated from the sea level to 2000 meters above. Taking into account the modification of the temperatures influenced by altitude, citrus´ crops can be classified in low tropic, mid tropic and high tropic. This classification is important to select the species and varieties intended to cultivate. There are five main regions in which citrus are cultivated, and each one requires a different crop’s management. This document introduces the botanical classification of citrus, the horticultu -ral classification of the species and varieties cultivated in Colombia and, finally, a revision to the patterns used for the cultivation is made. Then, information about the weather and soil requirements is provided and recommendations concerning the agronomic, horticultural and phytosa -nitary management are given.
